Actor Henry Golding has started his training for the upcoming G.I. Joe: Snake Eyes live action movie.
Mr. Golding has posted two images from the training session on his official Instagram page with a caption featuring a snake emoji.
The photos seems to feature some sort of a sword training with several trainers.
Filming is set to begin on October 15th in Vancouver, Canada.
Concept artist Sunil Pant has updated his LinkedIn profile with a new entry titled G.I. Joe: Snake Eyes.
Mr. Pant is mostly known for his work on Netflix’ Lost In Space series as well as Amazon’s highly acclaimed series The Man in the High Castle.
Very much like Andrew Li (the Art Director for the movie), Sunil Pant also specializes in futuristic vehicles and backdrops. His work on The Man in the High Castle alone screams Cobra.
We’ve highlighted some of his artwork from his official website, after the jump.
A word we received indicates that industry expert Andrea Brown has joined the casting department of G.I. Joe: Snake Eyes. To be specific, Mrs. Brown will act as the Extras Casting Director for the movie.
Most fans may not have heard of her but she comes with a 30+ years of experience and bringing in extras for some of the major movies including the mutant army of Magneto from the X-Men franchise. In other words… a troop builder.
If you are interested in working as an extra for Snake Eyes, you can drop your profile at BCF Casting. The process is completely free and you don’t have to pay any commission or charges. Mind you, you need to be in Vancouver, Canada to be eligible.
Additionally, we can confirm that Kimani Ray Smith will indeed be the stunt coordinator of the movie. We received his confirmation along with this news regarding Andrea Brown.
Information we received from Canada suggests that the main production crew for G.I. Joe: Snake Eyes is ready and waiting for the principal photography of the movie.
Robert Schwentke, after stepping back to direct his own pet project, will be back on time to start filming by early October.
Joining Mr. Schwentke will be two assistant directors; namely John R. Saunders and Dan Mansfield. Mr. Saunders previously worked on projects such as the John Wick trilogy and Mr. Mansfield worked on Deadpool, Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes and The A-Team 2010.
List of crew members which we posted earlier will remain the same. In addition to the said members, Location Managers Ann Goobie, Paul Giordano, Sean Finnan, and Larissa Craig has joined the team along with Production Assistance Maya Ricol.
Also joining as a Producer is Erik Howsam, who was a producer for both G.I. Joe: Rise Of Cobra and G.I. Joe: Retaliation.
Paramount Pictures will inject US$ 20 million to the Canadian economy which excludes the salaries of non-Canadian crew members and the movie cast.
